grapes

Spoken: I'm lovin' it

No thank you, I'm not pregnant
There's nothing in here but burgers and Frito Lay's
I tried to go on a diet
I failed of course and that is a shame

Tell me I'm beautiful
When you see me fall down the stairs
It'll take a miracle
For me to pick up my notebook and grow enough hair
To cover this face, I'm such a disgrace
To my family
Match my pounds in a dowry and they'll be happy

Fat girl fail
Can't fit through a doorway
Ass the size of Norway
Taken for a beer chugging, belly hauling, bear mauling male

The closest to hot I've ever been was on a summer day
I wish I was thin enough to dance with Patrick Swayze
Yes I admit I wallow in my past
The 80's were where I was thin last.

Fat girl, hail.
Don't care what you all say
I like to have it my way
Everything I do is fail fail fail fail

Fail.

You tell me I'm beautiful
but I digress - Exhibit A to the contrary
If I find out my mother lied to me all these years
And I've always been skinny!

Fat girl fail
Can't fit through a doorway
Ass the size of Norway
Taken for a beer chugging, belly hauling, bear mauling male
Fat girl, hail.
Don't care what you all say
I like to have it my way
Everything I do is fail fail fail fail

Fail.

Who's that on the street?
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
She gets around, she gets around
On her new bicycle.

All the boys want it
They go to her to see it
Can't keep away from touching it
She lets them 'cause she's generous

Who's that on the street?
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
She gets around, she gets around
On her new bicycle.

She rides around town
Stopping door to door
Because the boys want to see
Wish they could ride it like she does

Who's that on the street?
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
She gets around, she gets around
On her new bicycle.

Her place is always busy
They want to see the hottest thing in town
It makes them dizzy
They never leave with a frown

Who's that on the street?
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
It's Sushi and she gets around
She gets around, she gets around
On her new bicycle.

Her mama said, "It's time to dress now."
And she flinched at her words 'cause she's so damn stubborn.
This girl she was afraid of lace,
Show her a piece and she'd blow up in your face.

CHORUS
It's been too long since she put on a dress,
Now she's old enough to have some style sense.
Scared silly of the ruffles and the curves,
Just doesn't know how to be a girl.

Her friends say, "Hey wanna go somewhere?"
And she said, "No thanks I'm playing tennis - pairs."
Of course they sighed,
Decided not to fight
'Cause there just isn't a way.

CHORUS

Secretly,
She bought a purse,
Tried it on and felt like a hearse.
Told herself
It's not so bad
Then almost screamed 'cause then in walked her dad.

Girly girl what who? Not me.
Tried to explain her moment of insanity
Her dad shook his head and then he tried
To tell her, "Honey, it's okay to cry."

CHORUS

I’ve always been the one to shun love

Just didn’t get it when they said, “I can’t get enough – of him.”

He’s just a boy with dark brown curls,

Is he really good enough for all of these girls?

My big day is far off yet

And there’s no point in getting upset

He’ll appear and he’ll be here

When he’s needed.

I’m starting to think that I was wrong

Stupid to think that I was strong – enough to live alone

Even with denial you have to admit

Most of us need boys a little bit

Maybe my hormones are just acting up

Making me think of silverware and cups

In my future home with my man I’ll reside

Come on in, we’ve got nothing to hide.

Boys, now they’re a bit more attractive.

I think the estrogen is a bit too active.

‘Cuz I’m starting to think about the opposite gender,

I need somebody that’s loving and tender.

I’m starting to think that I was wrong

Stupid to think that I was strong – enough to live alone

Even with denial you have to admit

Most of us need boys a little bit

Even though most of them still suck,

Something’s tugging on my biological clock.

Girls may rule and boys may drool,

But some of the boys are starting to look real cool.

I’m starting to think that I was wrong

Stupid to think that I was strong – enough to live alone

Even with denial you have to admit

Most of us need boys a little bit

Maybe it’s time for a change of mind

Wouldn’t mind going on a date one time – and one alone.

Even with denial you have to admit

It’s nice to have someone who cares, isn’t it?

I’ve never been away from here before

Wondering what’s beyond the shores that keep me in

Is it a sin to want to get away,

To leave your life behind and go astray?

You’ve shown me wonders I could never dream of

Made me realize that I’ve got to be tougher than I’ve ever been

They’ve been keeping me in this shell

Turning life into a living hell.

Let me out of this cage,

I want to perform on the great world stage.

Dangle the golden key,

Keep it only two feet in front of me.

Ask me to smile,

When I’m stuck in a bubble spanning several thousand miles.

Under uniformity what’s there left to see

A few clumps of dirt and the bones of a man who lacked his Vitamin C

I want to ask him what the world is like,

Living through a corpse almost finished by a colony of dust mites.

Feeling incompetent, feeling like a fool

I ask why I was placed here of all the places in the world.

I’ll pack up my bags and head out to the open west

I’ve got my own dreams and I’m off on my quest.

Let me out of this cage,

I want to perform on the great world stage.

Dangle the golden key,

Keep it only two feet in front of me.

Ask me to smile,

When I’m stuck in a bubble stretching several thousand miles.

I can’t get out of here just yet

But when I do you better bet I’ll do it all

On a scale more grand than small

I’ll go all out

I’ll give you a real smile and I’ll never frown again.

Let me out of this cage,

I want to perform on the great world stage.

Dangle the golden key,

Keep it only two feet in front of me.

Ask me to smile,

When I’m stuck in a bubble spanning several thousand miles.

Let me out of this cage,

I want to perform on the great world stage.

Dangle the golden key,

Keep it only two feet in front of me.

Ask me to smile,

When I’m stuck in a bubble spanning several thousand miles.

Little girl inside a teepee

It didn’t matter if she was sleepy

Got a lot of work to do

Your French husband’s waiting for you

Some white men they stumbled upon

Her tiny village and brought her along

Sacajawea, poor soul,

Had to go hiking when her belly was full

That girl, what might

At least she got to see all of the sights

Before we did,

Before we did.

Now she’s frozen on a big yellow coin

Bound by papoose to the fruit of her loins

National icon, Indian woman

Found the Pacific and had a baby son.

When the boat flipped and the men all freaked

Sacajawea got them out of the creek.

Sacajawea, poor soul,

Had to go hiking when her belly was full

That girl, what might

At least she got to see all of the sights

Before we did,

Before we did.

Her brother gave them horses

To get past Nature’s obstacle courses

More than that, she was one with the earth,

In the midst of the trees did she give birth!

Sacajawea, poor soul,

Had to go hiking when her belly was full

That girl, what might

At least she got to see all of the sights

Before we did,

Before we did.

Sacajawea, poor soul,

Had to go hiking when her belly was full

That girl, what might

At least she got to see all of the sights

Before we did,

Before we did.

When I see her face in the mirror,
I tell her she needs Neutrogena.
She runs away and cries in her pillow,
Which only makes her acne worse.

Silly silly girls,
It is their hair they twirl,
Around them the whole wide world does whirl.
They'll never know much more
Than their closet door
When they converse they are such a bore.

Afraid to cry 'cause it'll smear all her makeup,
Holding her emotions so they'll see her and sigh
In awe she stares gaga-eyed at the boys,
Which only makes her heartbreak worse.

Silly silly girls,
It is their hair they twirl,
Around them the whole wide world does whirl.
They'll never know much more
Than their closet door
When they converse they are such a bore.

Aaah Aaahhh Ahhhh Aaaaah Aaaah Ahhh Ahhhh...
Maybe if she sleeps
In the woods for a week
She'll realize that her beauty's reached its peak
And from now on it's down the creek.

Silly silly girls,
It is their hair they twirl,
Around them the whole wide world does whirl.
They'll never know much more
Than their closet door
When they converse they are such a bore.
Silly silly girls,
It is their hair they twirl,
Around them the whole wide world does whirl.
They'll never know much more
Than their closet door
When they converse they are such a bore.
